TOX21 LIST1: Tox21 Chemical Inventory for High-Throughput Screening Tox21 is a collaboration among multiple federal Agencies -- EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)/National Toxicology Program (NTP), the National Institutes of Health/National Human Genome Research Institute/NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - working together to develop, validate and translate innovative, high-throughput screening (HTS) chemical testing methods to characterize key steps in toxicity pathways. The goals of the .Tox21 Community. are to investigate the use of these new tools to prioritize substances for further in-depth toxicological evaluation, identify mechanisms of action for further investigation, and develop predictive models for in vivo biological response. The full Tox21 chemical inventory is currently undergoing screening (as of Nov 2011) at the NCGC's Tox21 HTS Robotics Facility . All HTS assay results are to be publicly released after quality review through various public database venues (EPA ACToR, NIEHS CEBS, NCGC Tox21 Browser, and PubChem). In addition, all parent Tox21 solution plates are undergoing analytical QC (LC MS and follow-up GC MS) in association with testing to assess compound sample purity, identity, concentration, and stability. The Tox21 effort represents the largest and most comprehensive evaluation of the interaction of a wide range of environmental and commercial chemicals with putative and known toxicity pathways. The effort is helping to pave the way for the use of HTS tools in hazard identification, chemical prioritization, and risk assessment.
